Financial Services and Markets Act 2000
The Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 is a UK statute governing financial services regulation, authorization, and market conduct.
Regulation terms for securities statutes, market conduct, front-running, and financial regulatory frameworks.
Securities Laws and Market Conduct Rules is the regulation landing page for securities statutes, market conduct rules, front-running, financial regulatory frameworks, and investor-protection rules. It keeps related terms in one branch so readers can move from a broad compliance question to the article that owns the regulatory evidence.
Use this page when a market-conduct rule changes what brokers, advisers, issuers, traders, or venues may do. Use the parent Market Disclosure page when you need the broader regulation map. For an individual decision, confirm the rule source, jurisdiction, covered party, effective date, filing or record, and compliance consequence before relying on the term.
Use the table below to move from this landing page into the term page that best matches the regulatory evidence.

A front-running concern depends on order timing, customer information, and trading records, not just the fact that a trade occurred.
Market Conduct Rules content is educational and does not provide personalized legal, tax, accounting, compliance, regulatory, investment, or securities advice.
Choose a subsection first. Deeper term pages live inside each subsection, which keeps large topic hubs readable.
